Have you ever been in an argument with someone over Coral Snakes?

Yeah I use red and black, friend of jack, red and yellow, kill a fellow. xP

I always test out if a wild snake has venom by making it bite me.

Then I slaughter it and eat its heart to gain its strength.

Rawr.

I remember the story of the herper who moved a milk snake off of a trail in Arizona, so it wouldn't be killed by some other passerby. Then he realized, as he set the animal down, that red was in fact touching yellow.

Shows how docile coral snakes are in the US. The poor guy almost had a heart attack after the fact, though. lol

Do you know what area this was at? I'd love to go field herping, I just don't know where to start! I go by "Red touches black, he's a friend of Jack. Red touches yellow could kill a fellow." Learned it by watching Arthur as a kid.

I learned 'red touches black, venom lack, red touches yellow, kill a fellow'.

I think the story was printed in Reptiles magazine, but I didn't the note location.
